I am getting very interested in learning more about 2D platformer games I want to know if that is applicable to all 2D platformer games?

Excellent course! Before this course i participated other unity and c# courses as well .This was an awesome addition . It was fun and engaging.But I wish it asked for more participation from us.

Couldn't get past the jumping part, went over multiple times to make sure the code and settings matched, but the character just floats away, don't know if the course needs updating or something but really disappointing that I didn't get to play around after hitting a roadblock so early.

*Chef Kiss* Really Enjoy The Course! Love how the game mechanics is very tighten and applicable in real game mechanics, unlike other courses where they teach you to do simple stuff and it's lack of feeling of playing/making a real game.

This course is easy to learn and fun! I recommend having two screens when taking this course so you can have Udemy and Unity open at the same time and follow along, this makes game development go from seeming like a distant dream to a daily routine.

I’ve had issues finding reliable courses that show me the process from start to finish where I actually understand what’s happening and teaches me a lot more than building a single scene game. This goes through it all, with great challenges, and leaves me eagerly wanting to add to the project on my own with some confidence. Thank you!

Thanks so much James! Just starting my GameDev Journey and I have learned a lot. I hope you would be able to create a new tutorial for making 2D Turn Based RPGs. I know you already made one but an updated version using URP and other new Unity Stuff will be really awesome. Thanks again, we will join this build in a GameJam and post it in itch.io. I hope you can drop by sometime and see what we have managed to make. :)

I'm a newbie at making games yet, but I managed everything. Every action was well explained. It is enough for a very simple 2D platform game. Sometimes I felt like I was doing more in a rush, but it was manageable. I paid for the course at a discount. Thank you James for a great course. I'm looking forward to finishing my first 2D game.

I am a fast-ish learner, I am slow to start but this course takes you through the basics and explains everything very well, it's great!

Pretty solid, I do know quite a few coding fundamentals in Unity so I've had to skip past a few sections. Still, it's a great tutorial.

James really made this a seamless process. By the end of the course I learned how all of these pieces work together, and was able to expand the game with additional mechanics. I will absolutely take another one of James' courses, and I highly recommend this one if you're curious on building 2D games.

Very nice introduction into basic concepts of creating 2d platform games in Unity. The good thing is that this course ends with playable game prototype that can be modified and extended further on. Really good foundations to start with.

James is clear and concise. He explains everything he is doing and why he is doing it. The exercises are testing but are applying knowledge gained in previous lessons so aren't impossible. The games are fun and the end product is a great jump point into creating your own of the same genre. Highly recommended!
